TERM 2 ISSUE 10 2nd July 2020

Happy Holidays!

Thank you to all students and families for a successful term. Thank you to the dedicated staff who always put the needs of our students as their first priority in all decision making at our school.

We wish all families a safe and happy mid-year break. This Friday will be the last day of term two. Students return to school on Tuesday 21st July after a well-deserved break. I look forward to seeing everyone after the holidays.

Sandy Beach Interp Art Project

This term Stage 3 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students were invited to

participate in the Sandy Beach Interp Art Project. This is a joint project between the

Coffs Harbour Lands Council and the Coffs Harbour City Council. Students participated

in a ZOOM meeting, organised by Lachlan Skinner, where the students were fortunate

enough to listen to elders Uncle Tony and Aunty Deb discuss the significance of the

Sandy Beach foreshore area to Aboriginal people. This area had two main camps at

each end of the beach and was a main pippi gathering ground. Students were asked to

create art works symbolising the importance of this area.

The art works will be

collected and the

student’s ideas will

be used to create a

permanent art feature

on the Sandy Beach

reserve area. A big

thank you must go to

our SLSO, Johanna

Close, for the

wonderful support

she has given the

students whilst they

were creating the art

works.

Semester One Reports

Student reports will be sent home today with your child. Please take the time to talk with your child about the report and celebrate their achievements.
